Description

We had a small snow storm (16 cm) late last week, and this morning the winds and low ambient temperature (-23 C) kept ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.

I took this with my cellphone (iPhone 14) on the way to work, with the simple goal to record this parhelic circle.  This one is not the best I have ever seen, the actual semicircle is difficult to see. The locale is somewhere near my home.  It would have been nice to get out of the city,  but work beckoned, and this the nascent parhelic effect was nice.

Hope you like it, thanks for looking.. all comments welcome.
